The first rail transport in this subcontinent introduced by British govt in the year of 1853. The rail transport in Bangladesh is not so popular as the country contains a lot of river and canal all over the country. So its tough to make rail line but at the British colonial era the govt make some rail line in different part of the country and after independent of Bangladesh the govt make some other line and at present the total rail line is about 2855 kilometer among them some are broad Gage some are meter Gage and some are duel Gage.
